The people behind the panelsThe people behind Venttara.
A small Larkspur crew that answers its own phone — here's who we are and how we work.
Larkspur, CO · 6,700 ft
Built in Larkspur, for the Front Range.
Venttara started in 2017 with one truck, one ladder and a frustration. Jesse Stubbs had spent years watching neighbors in Larkspur and Castle Rock sign twenty-five-year contracts with companies that sent a salesman, a subcontracted crew, and then never answered the phone again. He figured the Front Range deserved an installer that would still be around.
Our approach is unglamorous on purpose. We size systems to your real usage, not a sales target. We pick equipment for hail, heavy spring snow and ultraviolet at altitude. We flash every roof penetration as if it were our own house, and we tell you plainly when solar isn't worth it — a shaded north roof, a home you'll sell next year.
Everything runs out of 7411 Cameron Dr in Larkspur: design, permitting, scheduling and the warehouse. That means when a storm rolls off Pikes Peak and something looks wrong on your monitoring app, the person who installed your system is usually twenty minutes away, not two time zones.
Nine years in, most of our work comes from referrals — ranchers telling neighbors, business owners telling customers. We'd like to keep it that way.

The array made more power in its first winter than either quote promised for a full year, and when the March blizzard hit, the battery kept the well pump and heaters running for two days."), ('TB', 'vtr-av-sky', 'Tom & Rachel Becker', 'Homeowners', 'Castle Rock', 'Clear proposal, no gimmicks.
